PdMA Releases Latest White PaperWorld-Class Companies Need World-Class Motor Management and MaintenanceAsk a manufacturer how long a motor it produces is expected to live, and the response will be something like, "20-plus years in the right environment." Ask the same question in a facility that uses such a motor and the answer is more likely to be, "If we get five years out of it, we'll be happy!" Why does this discrepancy exist?
